What about hunters? As far as I'm aware of, they shit on most classes (mages and melee) with the exception of spriests and locks. Someone knowledgeable correct me if I'm wrong on this. The best 1v1 class should be decided on the number of classes they can regularly beat.

Hunters are the best 1v1 class in the game. The problem with hunters is that most people who play them don't play the class to its full potential and give it a bad name.

Mage > Rogue > everyone else. Some irregularities may have occurred, but these two have always had the best CC coupled with very strong damage, which is what wins small scale fights.

You didn't play much PvP in MoP yet, did you? Putting Rogue atop the food chain in an 1on1 situation at the moment couldn't be more wrong. Most classes are outclassing rogues in about everything and will easily destroy an equally geared/skilled rogue.
